but the command

has problems with blanks in the name of the files:

find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 md5sum
...tells find to output \0-separated lines instead of \n-separated
lines, and tells xargs to expect \0-separated args instead of
whitespace-seoarated args.
(That said, I've always rather wondered why xargs doesn't have a mode to
expect \n-separated args. There is of course the problem that file names
might also contain \n (maybe not on 'doze, but on POSIX filesystems they
can), though for less typing it seems most xargs input tends to be
line-delineated anyway.
